This serif features sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give many stems a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Contrast is pronounced, with thin hairlines and stronger verticals, and the serifs appear bracketed and finely pointed rather than blocky. Proportions feel classical: capitals are broad and steady, lowercase is compact with clear counters, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) show smooth modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sculpted logic, with open forms and crisp joins that keep the texture clean in continuous text.
Well suited to long-form editorial and book typography where crisp serifs and high stroke modulation can add sophistication. It also works effectively for display applications such as magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal stationery where the tapered, flared finishing provides a distinctive signature.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic editorial seriousness with a touch of handcrafted sharpness. Its pointed detailing and controlled contrast create a poised, upscale voice suited to cultured, traditional contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with more expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a traditional text voice that still feels crafted and contemporary in its sharp detailing. It aims to deliver clarity and authority while adding a recognizable edge through tapered terminals and calligraphic modulation.
In text, the face maintains an even rhythm despite its tapered details, producing a bright page color with distinct letterforms. Diacritics and dots are neatly formed and unobtrusive, and the sharp terminals add character without overwhelming the line.
